Pros:
There is absolutely no vibration from anywhere on the bat. Massive pop. Feels balanced when you swing it. The grip is very sticky even after being in dirt, no real need for gloves unless you prefer to wear them. Simple design. Personally gave me confidence at the plate. Hit a home run my first at bat with it. Extremely low price. Cons:Small knob, but I wrapped some tape around it to make it flare.

Pros:
Little.Cons:This is a terrible bat! First one dented with little game use, Anderson replaced and we had same problem. Significant dents with about 15-20 games. Waste of money. Anderson would not stand behind second bat. They said sorry warranty only good for first one not replacement. Never buy their product again.

Why is it so cheap? I'm just asking. Was there not as good of a response to the bat as there was to the Techzilla? My son uses all Easton: S1, S2, S3, and the MAKO. Can you honestly say if I purchased this bat for $50, compared to those $200-$300 bats, it could hold up and produce like those do?

The Anderson Ignite XP Youth Baseball Bat (IXP) will feel very similar to the Easton S3. They both will be fully alloy and feel pretty balanced in swing weight. The composite bats like the S1 and MAKO will hold their performance longer than the alloy bats will. That will be the main difference.

Does this bat have the power of the Techzilla?

Asked by Kim on

Yes, the Ignite has many of the same characteristics as the Techzilla. The only real difference besides the length-to-weight ratio is the Techzilla is a Multiwall bat, and the Ignite is a Single Wall. Techzilla may be a little bit more durable.

Product Description

The new Anderson Ignite youth bat features a complete redesign of Anderson's popular single wall alloy technology. The Ignite is designed to maximize Anderson's all-metal alloy, with a shape that optimizes the player's swing. This new alloy has a greater yield value and added strength that allows a lighter, more responsive, and larger Effective Hitting Area (EHA). Reducing the weight in the EHA, while maintaining the strength necessary to withstand impact, allows for greater design versatility including a significantly reduced Moment of Inertia (MOI). Optimizing the MOI makes it possible for players to swing the bat faster, with less effort. The Ignite is topped off with a TrueFlex End Cap that is designed to increase barrel strength and aid in vibration managment. Also helping eliminate annoying vibrations is the TaperFlex Contour which uses a proprietary combination of design mapping and wall-thickness tuning to prevent energy from escaping the barrel. Furthermore, an SG-I Sport Grip absorbs any stray shockwaves that might make it down to the ultra-thin whip handle. All of this technology is used to efficiently manage energy transfer and produce the most explosive hits for youth players! Anderson: Manufactured With Pride in the U.S.A.! The Ignite is approved for play in Little League, Babe Ruth, Dixie, Pony, AABC, and USSSA. It is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!
